  • The title Marquess of Rockingham in the peerage of Great Britain was created for Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 6th Baron Rockingham, in 1746. The Watson-Wentworth family were descended from the Watsons of Rockingham Castle in Northamptonshire who were given a barony in 1645. In 1714 the 3rd Baron was created Earl of Rockingham, Viscount Sondes and Baron Throwley. At the death of the 3rd Earl, all his titles became extinct, except the barony, which passed to his cousin, who had been created Baron Malton in 1728 and Earl of Malton, Viscount Higham, Baron Harrowden and Baron Wath in 1733. The 1st Earl of Malton adopted the name Wentworth when he inherited the estate of his maternal uncle, the 2nd Earl of Strafford, in 1695. He was created Marquess of Rockingham in 1746. The second Marquess, son of the first, became Prime Minister of Great Britain. Before acceding to the marquessate he had been created Baron Malton (1750) and Earl Malton (1750) in the Peerage of Ireland. When he died in 1782 all of his titles became extinct. His estates passed to his nephew, the 4th Earl Fitzwilliam.

  • 羅金漢侯爵(Marquess of Rockingham)屬於大不列顛貴族爵位,創設於1746年4月19日,授予托馬斯·沃森-文特沃斯,第六代羅金漢男爵。 沃森-文特沃斯家族發源於北安普頓郡的羅金漢堡,先祖劉易斯·沃森爵士(Sir Lewis Watson)率先在1645年1月29日獲封世襲男爵,是為第一代羅金漢男爵。在1714年10月19日,第三代羅金漢男爵獲晉封羅金漢伯爵(Earl of Rockingham)、桑德斯子爵(Viscount Sondes)及霍爾利男爵(Baron Throwley)。除羅金漢男爵爵位外,以上所有頭銜在第三代羅金漢伯爵逝世後而斷絕,至於該男爵爵位則由第三代羅金漢伯爵的堂弟繼承。此一堂弟本名托馬斯·沃森-文特沃斯,他在1746年2月26日獲繼承世襲男爵爵位,成為第六代羅金漢男爵以前,本身早已在1728年5月28日獲封莫爾頓男爵(Baron Malton),後又於1733年11月19日獲封莫爾頓伯爵(Earl of Malton)、海恩子爵(Viscount Higham)、哈洛登男爵(Baron Harrowden)及沃夫男爵(Baron Wath)。此外,他在1695年從舅公第二代斯特拉福伯爵繼承大筆遺產,家族姓氏遂由「文特沃斯」改成「沃森-文特沃斯」。他後於1746年4月19日進一步獲封羅金漢侯爵。 第一代羅金漢侯爵在1750年12月14日死後,侯爵爵位由他唯一仍在世的兒子繼承。第二代羅金漢侯爵在繼承父親爵位前,早已在1750年9月17日獲封莫爾頓伯爵(Earl Malton)及莫爾頓男爵(Baron Malton),但此爵位屬於愛爾蘭貴族爵位。第二代羅金漢侯爵曾兩度出任英國首相,他在1782年7月1日逝世後,所有貴族爵位因絕嗣而斷絕,而他的遺產後來由外甥第四代菲茨威廉伯爵繼承。
